Texas Farm Bureau Resolutions meeting

Invasive pests, solar panels and international water treaties were among the topics reviewed by the Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) Resolutions Committee earlier this week in Waco. The TFB reviewed and consolidated more than 180 resolutions. On the topic of solar panels in Texas, the committee discussed the growing impact on farmland. Members supported a resolution encouraging the use of agrivoltaics—dual-use systems that allow for energy generation while maintaining agricultural production. “Agrivoltaics give landowners the opportunity to produce renewable energy and still grow crops or raise livestock, keeping the land productive for future generations,” said Sam Snyder, Chairman of the Resolutions Committee.
